As Larry Ott prepared for the 3-mile hike to the summit of Iron Mountain last Friday, he donned a Poway Backpackers shirt. A special shirt, for a special hike: To honor his friend Eddie. Eddie Lindros, 81, who died on a Lake Hodges trail last week , was an avid hiker and backpacker who had shared his passion for the outdoors with thousands of others as the co-founder of Poway Backpackers , a group that has been introducing young people to nature since 1972. 'That's what he did, and it's what he loved,' Ott said, holding back tears.
